homesickness and selling yourself to hollywood

i feel incredibly homesick today.
home is where your heart is.
i'm sick of the red brick city at the moment, i'm fed up with dirty chippies and one pound shooters.
i wish for snowy mountains and fresh air.

on another note, i went to see jennifer's body today. seriously, diablo cody is one of the most overrated writers ever. and thats just my humble opinion. just because she used to be a goddamn stripper who found her muse doesn't make her the new brainchild of the indie film industry (the academy must have thought that though in this particular case). to me she is just another whacky fringe with stripper heels that puts the all american image into one script. i know commercialism sells, but come on it would be refreshing if people would move away from the stereotypical horror flick shit...megan fox as the sexy cheerleader who devours the quater back, the emo and the indie boy? god almighty.
even though i'm a big fan of le foxxy fox i'm disappointed to see her wasting her time reducing herself to roles of being the cliché sexy biglips babe who constantly says the word fuck and tits.

ahh well. diablo cody you are the devil. please write a good script.

post edit: there is hope out there. fresh from the imdb site.

'Am I the only one that thinks Diablo Cody is a terrible writer? Though I did enjoy it, Juno was extremely overrated, and this piece of crap cements it for me. I hate Diablo Cody as a writer. Her contrivance and witty attempt at being hip and relevant just doesn't fly. I will give her credit for trying to look at dialog from left of center, but people don't talk like that....well except maybe Diablo Cody. But I didn't go to see a movie full of Diablo Cody's, I went to see a movie with moving characters you care for. If they die, I should care, which I didn't. and the "twist" ending made the Happening look like Citizen Cane, and I'm talking in this day and age where my future unborn children already know what rosebud is. It is still more of a reveal than this movie. It was a shame because there were same great actors in this movie and Megan Fox. Though I will give both Cody and Fox credit, because she actually fit the dialog well, but it doesn't make me hate it less. I found myself bored, and bored in a horror movie is unacceptable. I've seen some awful horror movies too, but never have I been this bored. I gave this movie 3 stars, one for Amanda Seifried, one for the (in my opinion) under appreciated Kyle Gallner, and one for the few interesting shots throughout the movie. Notice NONE for Diablo Cody!'
